Match made in heaven?

fresh pineapple dipped into spicy-salt

melted cheddar and mango chutney, on toast

soft-boiled quails egg, dipped in hot caramelised sugar which is then allowed to set (this was a nibble in a restaurant in London - amazing.)

melted cheddar and mango chutney, on toast

this reminds me...indian garlic pickle and peanut butter.

Deep fried battered haggis and Thai sweet chili sauce.

bologna and peanutbutter

Yep, loved that as a kid. Also peanut butter 'n cheddar.

Gumbo and potato salad - Not just as a side dish, but a scoop of potato salad IN the bowl of gumbo and rice. The potato salad must have chopped pickles in it to make the taste combo perfect. (Not new to homegrown Cajuns, but maybe to the rest of you?)

Boudin and Steen's Cane syrup.

Chocolate chip cookies and pineapple orange juice - Sure, cookies and milk are great, but there's something about chasing the cookie with a glass of pineapple orange juice that hits the spot.

Coffee (just a bit) in your cereal & milk.

really ripe strawberries and balsamic

ohhhh, I just love that combination. It makes my eyes roll up into my head.

The strangest, most wonderful, weird combination I've had lately was at the IACP conference in April at the avocado booth:

A chunk of avocado rolled in crushed corn nuts and draped in a thin veil of white cotton candy. It was OUTRAGEOUSLY good.

No Brown sauce left in the pantry, only sweet chili sauce left, lived without fear and was not completely sober.

Don't most of these combinations come about when "not completely Sober".

Baked/grill fish with slices of orange inside

There are few things of this type that are not improved with the addition of sweet chile sauce.

I buy it in the large bottles, 6 at a time so I won't run out.

I have used it as a dip for all kinds of things

Kufta or kefta, falafel, dolmas, fritters of all kinds, bean cakes,

used it as a topping on grits, barley, kasha, cheese blintzes, potato blintzes, potato pancakes, hoppin' John.

and of course all kinds of Mexican foods. Chimichanges especially.

And an avocado split in half and the hollow filled with sweet chile sauce is a symphony of flavors.

I too use Thai sweet chili sauce with many things - one of the best is in a peanut butter sandwich instead of jam.

Morningstar Farms Breakfast Patties with sweet stuff - like orange marmalade, maple syrup, or Thai sweet chili sauce, on toast.

Watermelon and feta - equal proportions, as a fantastically refreshing salad.

Grapes and a gutsy bleu cheese like Cabrales.

Raisins and amontillado.

I used to think I ate weird stuff, but really, cornflakes and Zinfandel???? That totally takes the cake, in my book.

Heston Blumenthal in his Q&A http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=12012 gave a list:

Strawberry and coriander

strawberry and coriander..is this coriander as in coriander seeds or coriander as in cilantro?

oooh this reminds me.

- avocado with Worcestershire sauce. MMMMMMM.

which also reminds me (it's a childhood thing)

- ripe papaya with crispy bacon shards and a squeeze of lime (am I allowed three things in my combination??)
